Due to her intensive training in internal medicine and infectious diseases, Dr. Hatano is well equipped to manage a wide range of adult and adolescent medical concerns."

"In a time when medical care has taken on the rushed impersonal quality of an assembly line, we focus on education and preventive care. We take the time to get to know our patients, to understand their unique health needs and to answer questions about personal healthcare issues. Through annual comprehensive preventive exams, our goal is to identify and treat health care concerns before they develop into more serious conditions.

Dr. Rabin and Dr. Hatano have shaped their practices with patient focus in mind.  Phone calls are usually answered in real time and flexible scheduling, including lunchtime hours, generally allows for same or next day appointments. In addition, sufficient time is scheduled for each office visit and waiting room time is kept to a minimum."
